Pictures from Pixar Masterclass in Singapore

A few post back, i was talking about the masterclass, now after much delay, here are some pics of the session :) not much different from the one we had back home, but we had a super nice pixar sculptor leading it :)

btw, i am the one who looks like a delinquent, out grew my mohawk already :D and jerome is the big hearty guy. kinda like Lotso, but nicer.

Here are the pics!








































As you can see, Jerome was really hands on about showing us how sculptors work, it was a small class but all the better :)

cheers!

oopss

Hi everyone,

well especially those who attended my class, anyway, if any of you remembered about me talking about a sculptor named Dan Brown? well, turns out, i made a mistake, his name is actually John Brown.

Honest mistake? hehe

First Conceptual Sculpture Class

Hi Everyone :)

Last saturday we had a really fun sculpting session, alot of people turned up with sculpey, industrial clay (bleckh) and tools.

we learnt alot, and i sure had alot of fun. it's nice to see so many people interested in this artform!

unfortunately i had to leave early, so i couldnt stay to see their final sculpt. i'm hoping you guys will continue working on it, and post it up for everyone to see! :D

as i see it, alot of you have a knack at sculpting, i hope you realize this and more more cool stuff :)

anyway here are the pics! ( thank you Hooi Ling for taking these )







That's me in blue btw, i really like this picture cos it doesn't show my face.

























An to top it all off, they collectively bought me a sweet Toy Story 3 artbook :) haha, thanks you guys! you rock!
